That is a very important detail too. Many of the guys here are comparing the new FB to engines that use premium grade. Is there a possibility that it could be regular? I'd guess yes. Heck it could be designed for 85 octane! That would be better IMHO in that it would leave more room for turbocharging
. But would make it worse for N/A. Plus with the price of premium, I'd wager a bet on regular being far more popular especially at this price point.
